The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision. It's got to be a vision you articulate clearly and forcefully on every occasion, says Theodore Hesburgh, President of the University of Notre Dame.

According to the The Art and Science of Leadership “Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience.”

Seems Penny Ferguson Ltd. founded in 1994 that provides education, training, and experience, personal leadership development that not only leads to outstanding personal success, but also amazing improvements in performance at work follows this statement and presents the Personal Leadership Programme (PLP) that has won over more than 17,500 delegates.

The main objective of PLP is to bring about positive, real and sustainable change in peoples lives and in the way their organizations function. The following are the questions PLP considers significant to those people who have a kind of wish to discover the leader in his/her personality:

• Highly acclaimed Personal Leadership Programme aims to help you transform yourself, your organization and the people in it
• Attend FREE breakfast briefing on January 16th with Roger Black MBE and Penny Ferguson
• Alumni service launches to enable delegates to stay in touch and share experiencesAs

SourceWire admits PLP is “designed to enable individuals to become the best leaders they can – both at work and at home – the PLP has proved life changing for individuals from all walks of life, from CEOs of major corporations, to primary school teachers and charity workers. Now, PFL has launched an exclusive online Alumni service, to enable delegates to communicate easily with one another and share experiences and ideas, whilst keeping up-to-date with the latest news and industry thinking. “

“The power of the Personal Leadership Programme lies in its simplicity,” commented Penny Ferguson, CEO. “Ask anyone what attributes make for effective leadership and no doubt, listening, how you think and focusing on people's strengths will come high on the list, however often these very simple things are not actually practiced by the majority of individuals,” she continued. “It’s more common sense than rocket science! The feedback has always been extraordinary – the PLP provides fundamental enlightenment and enables sustainable change – this is the beauty of the programme.”
